About Joan

In over two decades of practice I have been privileged to work in many settings: from the inpatient units of hospitals, to outpatient mental health clinics and finally into private practice. Each setting has brought new opportunities but through it all one thing has remained constant. The belief that people can heal, make their lives, and the lives of everyone they love happier, richer and full of hope, and it doesn’t have to be as hard as they think.

But this has not been a professional journey in itself. From “before KNOWING to now KNOWING” it has been a deeply and profoundly personal experience. My life has changed in so many ways I can’t even tell you. This is not to say that my life is perfect and I walk around in unconditional bliss. I still get mad at people once in a while. I still experience the sadness of feeling “unloved”. That “old voice” often comes to talk to me of anxiety and old wounds, and sometimes I’m not as nice as I want to be. But, despite this lack of perfection, I am still happier than I have ever been. I’m afraid less often; I’m closer with my children, my husband, and everyone else in my world. My life is happier and better, finally better, really better and I’ve overwhelmed with gratitude. This is why I wrote A Frog in My Basement: A Therapist's Curious Journey Into Energy Psychology and The Law of Attraction.

I’ve experienced my share of fear, anxiety, loneliness, regret and sorrow, and I expect I will continue to have to deal with whatever painful inevitabilities that life sends. But truthfully, and perhaps most importantly in my life, is that now I KNOW I have choices that I didn’t before. Choices of what I will create in the life I manifest for myself, choices of how I will feel and what I will experience in that life. Choices to use the powerful tools I have been given to build my own reality. That’s what I’m doing. That you do it also is my greatest wish.
